Season Three of "Traveling with Denella Ri'chard" kicked off on Sunday, May 9th with the Super Bowl Championship City, Tampa Bay!

In this two-part episode, President & CEO of Visit Tampa Bay, Santiago Corrada gave Denella the secret on how they pulled off a major event like Super Bowl during the pandemic.  Corrada said, "This one is the most special Super Bowls because not only did we pull off a big event of that caliber, during a pandemic, we had our hometown Buccaneers playing the first hometown Super Bowl and then win the Super Bowl". 

Tampa Bay takes pride in being a multicultural city.  In part one of this episode, you'll get a chance to meet the President of J.C.
